Clad in alternating bands of warm stone-gray and lively terracotta red, this hotel threads a contemporary façade into a block book-ended by a neighborhood playground and a historic church. The red frame elements read as oversized pilasters, bracketing generous window bays whose lime-green mullions echo the park’s foliage and bring a subtle pop of color to Washington Avenue’s streetscape. A glassy two-story base with discrete canopies opens the lobby and café to the sidewalk, creating a sheltered edge where guests mingle with passers-by and activity from the adjacent recreation yard flows onto the street. Topped by a modest cornice that nods to its ecclesiastical neighbor, the building delivers modern hospitality while respecting the scale and rhythm of the Bronx’s eclectic urban fabric.
